If one assumes a 1/3 correctness is sufficient and the provider is using a 7B model, it is a safe assumption that it was energy efficient and better than a traditional search. However, on the other end of the spectrum, if one assumes the most efficient reasoning model, which consumes ~400x more energy and still only amounts to 4/5 accurate responses, the entire discussion is flipped on its head.
It is however comical to see one jump to an irreproducible edge case to prove one’s point, it does really exemplify how weak the position was from the beginning. Intellectual dishonesty galore.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 4 days ago:
This is not correct and can easily be disproven, even if one assumes less than 480g/Kwh.
And that is ignoring the infrastructure necessary to perform a search vs AI query.

Assault is an unforgivable crime and thusly indefensible in any setting. What a fucking creep.
Furthermore, taking advantage of vulnerable people, (mostly lonely or too young to be fully developed) to fleece them for money by capturing them in an asymmetric parasocial relationship should also be a crime. These people only parasitise society and benefit from conpanies like Amazon or Twitch holding a de facto monopoly. They are part of the oligarchy.
Generally, Influencers, streamers and some youtubers (GN etc are notable exceptions) are parasitic entities that have no place in a civilized society. We’re rushing towards idiocracy at lightspeed.

Phase I\II determine efficacy and safety profiles.
In this case they are proceeding with a new cohort where the administration will be concurrent with immune suppression to counteract inflammation in the pos-op phase.
They will likely apply for a phase III after since this is an orphan drug.

IMHO, the US has bigger fish to fry than transphobia, it’s ridiculous it has so much air time in the anglosphere in the face of the much more relevant inequality and destruction of association rights. The neonazis set up the bait and the idiots gobble it up, hook line and sinker.
- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 5 weeks ago:
Legal scholar John Inazu characterized the backlash as “widespread outrage from progressive commentators” and that in some criticisms, “ad hominem attacks far outpaced their substantive critiques”.[13]
US americans are largely the same, be it trumpers or self styled liberals, they always have to be “better than” or “the best” of something. This leads to dangerous orthodoxies that don’t allow debate or discussion which furter leads to stances that are nothing but distilled anti-intellectualism. The trumpers call everything woke, the liberals call everything phobe. Meanwhile the overton window has moved so far to the right, the country elected a pedophile scam artist as president because they know him from TV and the rest of the world is left holding the bag.

Corporate management types are not organically recruited from experienced labour, they are from the “brahmin” echelons of society. Not only do they not understand that not all man hours are different, they have no clue of what is going on since they are recruited because of their pedigree and not competence.

It does shift review coverage, generally, toward the ones with the most advertising
but that doesn’t mean that Redfall and Suicide Squad still can’t happen and review poorly
Thank you for arguing in my favour. Both Redfall and Suicide Squad reviewed well above 50%. For people on Lemmy arguing about statistics it’s obvious the mean is shifted so anything around 75% is mediocre, however, to the average consumer, that is not the case. Furthermore, I mentioned Kane and Lynch because that game was the reason giant bomb exists and everyone nowadays knows big publishers strong-arm outlets.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 month ago:
I’m sure Kane and Lynch are audience favorites. No reason not to think only the best games get reviewed and thus, shifting the mean 25% in the favor of the companies that just so happen to be the ones paying for advertising. It’s more likely outlets, on average, only review good games, that sounds more reasonable.
